Will Visual Studio 2010 support Sharepoint 2007 development?

Question

I noticed in VS2010 beta 2 that all the templates are for Sharepoint 2010 ONLY.

Is this true ?

If so, will the VSeWSS 1.3 work with VS2010 atleast?

Answer 1

As far as I remember the session here at SharePoint Las Vegas conference, the new and cool Visual Studio 2010 stuff will only be available for SharePoint 2010... sorry...

You will probably still be able to do some hacks and move stuff from new VS to old SharePoint, but new features are not backward compatible.

Answer 2

The final VSeWSS 1.3 release was to have been delayed by Microsoft until December 2009... I haven't checked on the final status of that. However, the new VS10 projects include import routines so that you can import old VSeWSS projects to VS10 format.

But the SharePoint 2007 tools are limited to the same workflow tools that were available in Visual Studio 2008 out of the box. The VSeWSS tools are not directly included in Visual Studio 2010 and the VSeWSS release doesn't work with Visual Studio 2010, only with Visual Studio 2008."

我不希望VSeWSS 1.3与VS2010一起工作，但你最好还是使用STSDev或WSPBuilder进行2007开发，如果它们还没有，可能会与VS2010一起工作。
